1 can Chickpeas 1/2 cup Tahini 1/4 cup Lemon juice 2 Garlic cloves Salt Cayenne pepper or any other spice you'd prefer. 1/3 cup water This is really easy to make Blend all the ingredients together, and you get a nice hummus for a dip etc. I also sprinkle fresh parsley onto from my own garden :) The amount in the photo, I used double the ingredients. Enjoy
Michelle S 553303
Thanks Ange. I always make sure that I have all these ingredients at home and available at all times. I don't know if many people realise how very nutritious this is as well as being tasty too. I wish that I had a dollar for every bowl of hummus eaten globally just for today because I'd be instantly rich! Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can use it to crumb chicken, beef, lamb, pork and fish. The Japanese panko breadcrumb is more crispy, crunchy making it more delicious in my opinion. This is one of our family favorites. Ingredients: 6 Chicken Thighs 1 cup of Japanese panko breadcrumb 1 large egg 2 tsp of paprika 1 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of onion powder Salt and pepper 2/3 cups of flour Oil for frying meat Directions: 1) Prepare 3...

I appreciate the time you took to share your recipe (and your recipe reads yummy). In addition, I am a 'hard-core-vegetarian' (you lost me at chicken (six chicken thighs at that)). Not sure substituting tofu for chicken thighs is going to work for me (an arithmetic issue). Anyway, this recipe is way beyond my 'limited' cooking skills (as I am a beginning cook)!

You had me at BANANA BREAD - but I have absolutely no control over my 'sweet tooth'; hence, I buy a slice of banana bread once a week at a bakery in walking distance of where I reside (an hour to walk to the bakery and an hour walk to back home (in theory I can burn off completely unhealthy calories from the banana bread)) - that way I can pacify my conscience) :-)) - I am diabetic!

Get a pot on the boil... dump in some onions, other veg lying around, and any herbs and spices you have or love... you are making a stock... it is EASY... and some salt... some powdered chicken stock... and boil it up! Next, add your chicken cuts and let them poach till cooked (or a whole chicken if you want!) Allow to cool completely. Next, you'll need three bowls: One has flour in it. One has an egg beaten up in some milk. The magical one has finely...

Here in New Zealand, there is the government's free SuperGold Card for people aged 65+ which offers discounts and deals for all sorts of goods and services. The website has a searchable list: https://www.supergold.govt.nz
A couple of everyday examples are ...
Most supermarkets have a special discount day each week for SuperGold Card holders, usually a Tuesday. It's only 5% off everything, but every little bit helps.
Caltex petrol stations offer an extra 2% discount for SuperGold Card holders, on top of any normal discount everyone else gets.
Off-peak travel on public transport is free.
Australia has a similar Australian Seniors Card system, and the two are reciprical to some degree, so New Zealander SuperGold Card holders visiting Australia can take advantage of the Australian Seniors Card deals, and vice versa.

Like myself there are many people at home looking after a family member. I originally had my daughter at the age of 4, get very sick and had a crash course in nursing in 3 months and had to look after her 24/7. People do not understand what you are going through and sometimes we need to know there are other people out there, like ourselves, that do understand. I am now looking after my husband 24/7 because of all his health issurs
PatCat
Having just found out that my latest op. did not work, I worry for my partner. He's already been doing much of the domestic chores on my behalf, whilst also carting me about some distance to various health appointments. We are both in our mid eighties and don't know how long we can keep being active. Who will need extra care first? As seniors we are not in a position to pay for much home care and I see the news says that is to be increased in price to seniors using it. Life in the old lane isn't much fun is it?

How many here are unfortunate to have December birthdays? As a twin who celebrates a birthday the week before Christmas, I used to hate having 'joint' presents as a child. Now I just feel guilty for my family as it's another stress for them to think about at an already expensive time of year. I have immediate relatives who also share December as their birthday month. Sister in-law is 2 days before me and my mother's is boxing day. I also had an uncle who's was...

In driving at night I've been blinded by headlights on 4-wheel drives. I flash my lights to let the other driver know they are on high beam. Then the other driver flicks up to high beam. So I've been blinded by their low beams. Should the 4WD vehicles have their lights lowered so they are not so blinding as they are a higher vehicle than the ordinary car?
MoB
Probably, drivers now have no idea about lights. A car was following me on a dark night with no lights at all, when we pulled up at the lights I let him know that he didn't have his lights on, he said I can see so why should I put my lights on. I tried to explain that the lights were not for him to see with but for other people to see him. I got the finger, very nice. Knowing about lights on your car should be imperative if you are driving, it might help to lessen the number of accidents we have.

In the days leading up to this Federal budget, I heard the media stating that the Pensioners are one of the biggest groups to benefit the MOST from this budget.

This only benefits a very SMALL percentage of pensioners who actually...

I'm not retired and definitely do not believe elderly people are a burden. I feel similar to you about pensioners having paid there fair share of taxes. I also think that elderly people add a lot of value because they offer unique insight due to growing up in a different time. I've knoticed that Western cultures don't treat their elderly as nicely as Eastern cultures and this should change.

What do you think of the forthcoming increase in pension payments ? Can you survive on a pension? The pending increase in pension payments is just over $ 38 a fortnight, BUT my rent alone has increased by $ 40 a fortnight recently. Add to that rent increase, the much higher costs of electricity, gas, water, groceries, and other things, how are pensioners supposed to survive?
Liane H
Not sure if anyone else was still awaiting this amazing pension increase the media has been amping up to start on the 20th ? Well that was my payday and nope did not arrive. I have to wait yet another fortnight. Maybe it's d.s.payments get even further overlooked? Disappointed..very!!

Also when I lived at my parents as a teen I used to chuck avocado seeds in the backyard garden. They have a few fruiting avocado trees now. Apple cores/seeds chucked out a little before winter solstice (in temperate climates) should get enough cold hours to start sprouting by spring. You can also wash apple seeds then chuck em in a container with damp paper towel in the fridge (keep checking that it's damp) and this will give them enough cold hours to start sprouting (100% success I've found with this as all seeds sprouted). So yeah mum n dad have a few apple trees and crabapple trees.

Currently, they have a few after school activities and homework etc each week.

We are leaning towards them keeping the interests and keeping up the good grades at...
Ek M
Perhaps there's a way to do it all, but guess the sacrifice will come from the parents who taxi them to and fro. Once they earn their own money, charge them board, (and maybe bank the money for them to use later) this is a good grounding for going flatting. I had a friend who provided it all and when the child chose to go flatting, the wake up call was nearly more than the child could cope with

Yes I have seen one in Melbourne when I as a teenager and the nest day the media reported sightings of an UFO
Warrior Woman
I have twice seen one and I am basically a skeptic about flying saucers and Aliens. However on both occasions neither the Coastguard, Airforce, Police or anyone else can explain the lights I saw, which were brilliant blue when hovering, then flashed green as the zig-zagged back and forth for about 10 minutes over the ancient extinct volcano on our property, before flashing back to brilliant blue and disappearing over the horizon at an incredible speed.. They lit up the sky which woke my daughter on a neighbouring property on the second occasion. On the first occasion I was with about 6 other adults and we all reported our sighting. Several other people reported them on both occasions but we never received any logical explanations. Definitely unidentified flying objects

I am 64yo and have emphysema and lung cancer; all of which places me at high risks of blood clots from AstraZeneca. Whilst on the other hand, also places me at very high risk of getting the covid-19 virus.

I also had to teach myself how to cook and after 50 plus years married husband still asks where did you get that recipe from.

What is up with Hollywood today? Most of the "NEW" movies today are only rehashed old movies. Where is their imagination gone? The older ones were good in their day, so why rehash them and in the process ruining a good movie. Wake up scriptwriters and use some imagination and this doesn t mean special effects with imaginary characters. What do other people think?
lippy loo
Years ago a movie was released into the cinemas and played for a few weeks or even months sometimes. Nowadays unfortunately, due to TV, cable TV, internet, netflix etc. they are barely even hitting the cinemas for a week and then hit the smaller screens. This means more and more movies have to be made and sadly many are rubbish. I agree, some are just noise and or trash and often the hype is just PR to get people to pay to watch them.
I rarely watch TV and never go to the movies these days. I do not have pay TV either.

I mean these supposed plus-size women aren't even fat. Most of them are just average or what would be considered normal compared to the rest of the population. I mean Marilyn Monroe would be considered plus-sized in today's era and she's the most lusted after woman that ever lived. I think they should change the term to "buxom" or "sexy". Keep it positive!

this whole discussion is based on personal opinion - i am a size 8 and find it offensive when people say i starve myself - or thin shame me (yes it happens often) - i am naturally this size i eat a lot, i exercise too and stay same size and think as long as you are happy in yourself it shouldn't matter what size you are - whatever words used can be offensive if we let them - i choose to smile and let it go

Travel
If you truly believe in God, you will realise why people get married. Marriage is a type of Christ and his bride, and when Christ returns he will take those who believe in him to be his bride, and they will live with him in bliss and everlasting joy for eternity. You see, the Bible teaches that the kingdom of God will be on earth. In the meantime by being married we are glorifying God who wants us to be faithful to our partner in this life, just as we must be faithful to God. Marriage is a big commitment but it is very worthwhile from a scriptural point of view.

Online shopping and express postage is great when it works, especially during lockdown. But with so many more parcels and packages being sent via post -- the care of fragile items by post office staff and couriers seems almost non-existent. I decided to order some bone china, they arrived smashed. I requested a replacement, the replacement also arrived smashed. Moral of the story: Don't order china or glass during Covid19 or do so at your own risk!

The World Medical Association has said that boxing should be a banned sport because it causes fatalities and brain injuries. But life causes fatalities and brain injuries. Sport causes fatalities and brain injuries. Car accidents cause fatalities and brain injuries. Should we aim to ban everything? Boxing should not be banned. It's the risk the individual chooses to take when they play the sport.

Apparently people who don't care what others think are happier and I'd agree with that. When you do what's best for you, things seem to run more smoothly.
Carmel C 103964
Caring about what others think makes me happy, because I enjoy caring.
I don't live as a hermit, I live in a community....so everything that other people do or think affects me either directly or indirectly.
If you are asking solely about whether my choices are based on what other people think about my choices..... then that is very different conversation. Do I care that someone I know hates it when I wear read. No I don't, because I enjoy wearing red. Do I care that my mother disapproves of me not visiting her more than I do...yes I do care...because I don't want her to feel sad or lonely.
Different situations result in different levels of 'do I care'. You can't lump them all under one heading and ask do you care or do you not....because it depends totally on what the situation or issue is. .

Seriously in 2020, with the pandemic and all the other crazy crap that is going on, an alien invasion would be a welcome surprise. And to be honest, I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid. Perhaps we could vote the Aliens into government. They would do a better job than our politicians are doing
lippy loo
Not heard any news here. I don't believe in aliens per se but life on other planets is a possibility but in microbe form etc. Can't see some form of intelligent life as we have if you can call us that as we came about by circumstances that would not be repeated elsewhere. A spec of dust or a microbe started us off.
I think the Governments are doing OK although some not so much. We are having a pandemic and they are in a fine balancing act trying to save peoples lives and also their livelihoods.
This virus is so virulent and we have the idiots who just don't get it going about and spreading it more.
Everyone stay safe, follow the simple rules of social distancing, quarantining if necessary, get tested if sick or asked, do not shake hands or hug, do not gather in groups etc. If everyone did this together we would probably not have the situation in Victoria, NSW and now it seems in Queensland.

If they care for one another there is nothing wrong. If it is for money then it is wrong. Money does not bring happiness. Sometimes the opposite.

Having children is a lifestyle choice and not everyone wants to hear children screaming or misbehaving on international flights, in restaurants and so forth. I think we all deserve choices. I think we all deserve to have a peaceful coffee at a cafe without children running around. Not only would this provide an option for childless individuals but also parents who need some time-out

No. Children are a part of every day life whether they belong to a family and are grandchildren or great grand children. They bring joy to the family.

I have noticed over the years that people who play a lot of video games become aggressive in their day-to-day life. I try not to judge people but this personality change is pretty hard to miss. Anyone else experienced this?
Phyrephly
I think it also a desensitivity to violence in general with constantly seeing increasingly realistic imagery of people being raped or blown up or stabbed/gutted with knives. Then, the lights/bells/whistles that go off when you might kill another being (in a game) to win the round or whatever, makes violence a thing to be used to maybe get ahead of the game in real life. Sadly, I think many of these ultra violent/realistic type games were/are designed to do this. When you stab someone to death, they don't really die- they just come back at you in the next round. If you do this countless times then you very well may in some small way expect the same to occur in real life, especially if you haven't yet fully developed a brain that can tell the difference (fully) between RL and a game situation or scene. Bully or brutish behaviour, towards women say, if very often associated with heroism. The 'hero' of the round got to be the hero because he just shot 25 "bad guys" up with an AK47. 7 and 8 year olds may hav

Women are hormonally different from men. Our hormones shift, pre-menopause and post-menopause which can definitely change our figures. Due to a decrease in estrogen, fat is stored around our waist. How do we adjust? By learning what works for us. There are helpful videos regarding how to power down cortisol in the morning and being aware of all low-grade stress that increases cortisol. It is a journey of learning and hope. Let's support each other.

Not sure how some people can get such high scores in Scramble words. I ve played a few times. On all levels easy medium and hard. Most times managed to get around 400-600 points before all words are solved. Tried a little experiment. Got the letters and put into a crossword solver - basically spits out every correct English word of 2 or more letters up to the maximum. Started out with short and moved upwards. Have also gone from longest complex ones...
Chosen
Yes I have queried these incredible top such scores in the past and whether the leaders and these top scores in nearly every different game do in fact actually exist. Thomas of Rewardia was adamant that they do. If this is so then how about one of them put their hand up and log into this comment topic and confirm which game they are top of etc. Don't hold your breath. Ummmmmm

I just completed a survey that said it would take 2 minutes to complete for 50 points. Guess what? It took me over 30 minutes. Do you or have you been ripped off like this?
keimanzero
2 minutes for 50 points but if you are screened out of a survey, many times they will substitute another surey for you and continue until you win those 50 points. Yesterday I did one for 180 points and when I finished it, the score keeper said I'd been awarded 220 points! Sometimes it works both ways. If anyone who should have a bef against Rewardia, it'd be guys like me who rely on these online surveys to earn points to be redeemed fro cash and mdse! I was force retired in 2008 at age 59. Now after SS, SNAP, pension and take off $700 rent, I have only $900 left to live on so these surveys are a Kami-send to me! I wish more groups allowed me to have cash transfers to my Paypal acct and/or redeemed for Amazon gift codes. Wednesday 8 July, I turn 77 and my pet kitty cat Plummy will be 10. I have to bake my own cake, buy myself and Plummy our own gifts and nobody will visit us lonely shut-ins ever! I also wish that the points needed to redeem were a lot lower than 100K like they are here or 25K or 15K elsewhere online! But nobody seems to care re survey takers like us!

They want more personal data from you so they can SELL this information of YOURS to other groups, corps, companies, etc. Ever notice when doing surveys we are told NOT to share personal data and NOT to share anything we read ro hear or see outside of our households? Then they tell us that violation is a criminal offense and can result in fines and/or jail terms? They are NOT kidding! I know of a friend who posted all re the surveys he'd just done at Group X (No, I am not even allowed to share this data at all) and he was fined $200 USD but, in all fairness, it was NOT a US based survey. No, I have no desire to see if the same is true here in the States! Caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware) goes double for online surveys rules and laws!
